Generated Story:
Der kleine Bär und die Sterne
Es war einmal ein kleiner Bär namens Bruno.
Bruno lag in seinem Bett, aber er konnte nicht schlafen.
„Mama, ich bin noch gar nicht müde!", sagte Bruno.
Mama Bär lächelte. „Dann zählen wir die Sterne."
Sie gingen zusammen ans Fenster.
„Eins, zwei, drei…", flüsterte Bruno.
Bei zehn wurden seine Augen schwer.
Bei fünfzehn gähnte er ganz laut.
Und bei zwanzig schlief der kleine Bär
tief und fest — mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht.
Gute Nacht, kleiner Bruno.
